Chapter 38

Under a large tree, Dongfang Xiuzhe had just communicated with Chen Yue and Chen Xing, the two sisters, through "mental communication." He did not expect that the two sisters had progressed much faster than he had imagined.

At this rate, it wouldn't be long before the two sisters could assist him!

Standing up, Dongfang Xiuzhe stretched lazily. At that moment, he saw Teacher Liang Bo walking over from a distance.

"Is there some trouble again?" Thinking this, Dongfang Xiuzhe wanted to turn and leave.

But Liang Bo had already seen him and called out from afar, "Little student Xiuzhe!"

"Ah, looks like I can't avoid it!" Sighing helplessly, Dongfang Xiuzhe stopped.

"Little student Xiuzhe, why are you staying here!" Liang Bo walked over quickly, a smile on his face, as if he had encountered something pleasant.

Dongfang Xiuzhe just said "Oh," neither warmly nor coldly.

"I have some good news for you. You are now a student in the middle class C unit. Follow me, I'll help you move your living supplies to the new dormitory." Liang Bo said, then pulled Dongfang Xiuzhe's hand and walked towards the dormitory.

Dongfang Xiuzhe was very surprised. He had clearly forfeited, so why did he end up passing?

What's going on here?

In the principal's office.

"Principal, isn't it too hasty to let that child named Xiuzhe into our class so easily?" Teacher Lü Ning was dissatisfied with this arrangement and came to argue with the principal.

To be honest, he really didn't want a child like Dongfang Xiuzhe, who didn't listen to discipline. Such a child would definitely give him a headache if he were in his class.

"How is it hasty? Didn't he defeat Li Erniu from your class? Is this not a fact?" Meng Laikai chuckled, as if he had been prepared for this.

"But that was luck. In terms of strength..." Lü Ning wanted to argue but was interrupted.

"Sometimes, luck is also part of strength!" Meng Laikai turned to look out the window, where many children were playing innocently.

"I still can't agree!" Lü Ning, a straightforward person, remained dissatisfied with the principal's decision.

"You all underestimate that child named Dongfang Xiuzhe too much!" Meng Laikai's voice remained calm.

Compared to the other children outside, Dongfang Xiuzhe had a maturity that anyone with a bit of experience could sense.

Seeing Lü Ning's incomprehensible expression, Meng Laikai continued, "Based on my decades of experience as a mercenary, this child named Dongfang Xiuzhe is not simple. I don't know if it has anything to do with his family background, but even I can't see through him!"

Lü Ning found it even harder to understand the principal's high praise and retorted, "Is this Dongfang Xiuzhe better than Wang Junqi?"

Again, Dongfang Xiuzhe was being compared to Wang Junqi. Who knows what kind of person Wang Junqi is?

"Wang Junqi is an excellent child, a rare genius, but his excellence is something I can see through." Pausing, Meng Laikai continued, "But this Dongfang Xiuzhe gives me a mysterious feeling!"

"What mystery? I think he's just a conceited, arrogant, and self-important child!" Lü Ning muttered to himself.

Prejudiced, he already had a bad impression of Dongfang Xiuzhe.

"This matter is settled. Let him stay in your class for a while. If you still think he's not qualified, I'll have him return to the small class!" Meng Laikai didn't want to say more.

"Principal, I'm saying this upfront. I won't give him special treatment just because he's young. If he can't keep up with the learning pace, don't blame me for kicking him out of the middle class!" Lü Ning said with a frown.

Meng Laikai nodded, gave some instructions, and then let Lü Ning leave.

His gaze fell on the list on the table, and a playful smile appeared on his weathered face: "First, there was Wang Junqi, and now there's Dongfang Xiuzhe. It seems my 'Grassroots启蒙 School' will become famous overseas."

Under the guidance of Teacher Liang Bo, Dongfang Xiuzhe arrived at his new dormitory.

As expected, it was different from the small class dormitory. The dormitories here were single-story tile-roofed houses, close to each other. The rooms were not large, but they could easily accommodate eight children.

Silently noting the dormitory number, Dongfang Xiuzhe just entered the new dormitory when he met a very unfriendly gaze. It was Li Erniu, who had lost to him in the competition.

He really didn't expect that Dongfang Xiuzhe would be in the same dormitory as him. Was this a coincidence, or was it someone's deliberate arrangement?

"From now on, you are classmates. Take care of each other!" Liang Bo helped Dongfang Xiuzhe set up his bed, gave some instructions, and then left.

As soon as he left, the atmosphere in the room became tense.

Li Erniu glared at the person who had embarrassed him in front of his classmates. His bed was only a meter away from Dongfang Xiuzhe's.

In addition to Li Erniu, there were five other people in the room. They didn't have much enmity towards Dongfang Xiuzhe, but they liked to stir up trouble. One of them laughed and said, "Erniu, I think you should change your name to 'Ben Niu' (Dumb Ox). You can't even beat him, it's really a disgrace to our dormitory."

"Exactly, everyone says it's because of our dormitory that we always lose in the practical simulation competitions. I think the problem is with Erniu."

"..."

These words only added fuel to the fire for Li Erniu. He was a simple-minded, muscular person who was already seething with anger. Now, he couldn't take it anymore and stood up abruptly.

The others, seeing Li Erniu's unusual demeanor, stopped talking.

"I want to have another match with you!" Li Erniu walked to Dongfang Xiuzhe's bed.

Dongfang Xiuzhe, lying on the bed, glanced at him lazily and said, "Not interested!"

"No, you have to have a match with me. I want everyone to know that I can beat you!" Li Erniu grabbed the bed frame and shook it hard.

"I'll give you three seconds to get out of my sight, or you'll regret it!" Dongfang Xiuzhe's eyes became sharp.

He knew that in this new dormitory, if he didn't show some authority, he would have a hard time standing his ground.

"Are you going to hit me? Come on, I'm waiting!"

Li Erniu, seemingly possessed, suddenly threw Dongfang Xiuzhe's bedding to the ground.

This really enraged Dongfang Xiuzhe.
